Excellent Application of SMC Moulds on Blind Roads

MDC Mould already has advanced technology and rich experience in using SMC moulds to produce blind roads, and has been widely used in the market.

When it comes to the blind road, I believe that most people will not feel unfamiliar, because we will find that we can often see its existence in life. In this world, not everyone can be lucky, with healthy limbs and a healthy body. There are always a group of people who are different, and their world is less bright and colorful. The blind road can be said to be a little warmth for them, making them feel the care of the society.

Turning back to the topic of the blind road, what kind of existence does it have, so that the blind can distinguish other roads? You can take a look at the picture below.

SMC Mould - Blind Road

Features of the blind path: The blind path is generally paved by two types of bricks, one is strip-shaped guiding bricks, which guide the blind to move forward with confidence, which is called the walking blind path; A turn is called a prompt blind road. The blind road with yellow protruding stripes looks like the static eyes of the blind. It is paved on the sidewalk of the road and set up for the convenience of the blind. Bricks with special shapes and bright yellow colors are achieved by using the sense of feet of the blind and the principle of assisting sensation of tactile bricks.

At present, there are various materials for blind walkways, among which cement, stainless steel, plastic and so on are common. Among them, the price of cement tactile bricks is relatively cheap. This kind of tactile bricks is made of cement. There are many holes in the brick body and high water absorption, but the compressive strength is low and the service life is short; The bricks are thin, easy to deform, and the surface is smooth after a long time of use, which is likely to cause safety hazards to pedestrians; while plastic plastic tactile paving bricks are plastic products, the bricks are thin, not resistant to rolling, easy to crack and deform, and have a long service life short.

Today we are going to mention the blind roads made of SMC materials. To sum up, the blind roads made of other materials have more or less shortcomings, but the blind roads made of SMC moulds have advantages that other materials that cannot be compared. It has light weight, good strength and toughness, excellent drainage performance, safety and environmental protection, long service life, low production and maintenance costs, can realize mass production, and is widely used in the laying of blind roads and road warning lines.

Blind road construction cannot be ignored, it is a kind of humanistic care, SMC mould is the best choice for pedestrian blind road. At present, MDC Mould already has advanced technology and rich experience in using SMC moulds to produce blind roads, and has been widely used in the market. Welcome relevant industries to communicate with us and look forward to our cooperation!

What is compression mold

Compression molding, used for compression mold, is a molding method according to the characteristics of each stage in plastic curing reaction, and often used to produce high-quality composite parts. Compression molding materials are usually powder, granular or fibrous plastic, such as thermoplastic(LFT, GMT,LWRT), rubber and thermosetting plastic(SMC, BMC), Or new composites(SymaLITE,carbon fiber).

What is compression molding process?
Firstly, plastic is put into the cavity at the molding temperature, then close the mold, the material inside the cavity becomes a molten state under the high heat and high pressure, and then fills in the whole cavity. After curing, the product is ejected by ejector, repairing the flash. For compression molding, material, shape, compression, temperature, part thickness, cycle time must be considered. You must analyze the characteristics of the materials to ensure the product perfectly. Molding cycle time is something with material, part feature, mold design, temperature, pressure, etc.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of compression mold?
Advantages of compression mold:
(1)The loss of raw materials, the wear of the mold cavity is small, and the maintenance cost of the mold is low.
(2)It can be used to form large flat products. High dimensional accuracy, small shrinkage, low internal stress, the mechanical properties are relatively stable. The surface is smooth without secondary modification.
(3)The cost of the molding machine is lower, the mold structure is simpler, multiple cavities can be produced at lower cost, and the manufacturing cost is usually lower than that of the injection mold.

Disadvantages of compression mold:
(1)At present, it is not suitable for molding complex products with depressions, side slopes or small holes.
(2)Burrs must be trimmed manually
(3)For thermosetting plastics, when the molded products have slight defects, they are often unable to be recycled.

What is compression molding used for?
Compression molding is widely used in industry, agriculture, automotive industry, electricity, chemical industry, construction and other fields. MDC has developed compression molds such as spoiler templates, fenders, bumpers, front panel on trucks, engine covers, doors, bottom fenders, car ceilings, seat backs, electric boxes and bathroom door panel basin, etc.

What’s LWRT Mold?

As a leading LWRT Mold maker, we’re pleased to introduce new technology named LWRT for somebody else.

LWRT means Low weight reinforced thermoplastics. This type of material has been widely used in underbody shield of Automotive industry. both for Interior and exterior parts.

LWRT composite sheets are typically thermoformed into parts with a desired geometry.
Thermoforming is a stretch-forming process resulting in a reduction of the sheet’s original thickness. The deeper the cavity of the geometry is designed, the thinner the wall thickness of the final part will be.
The formability of the sheet material is its ability to form into parts with desired geometry without failure. The geometry of the parts varies according to different applications, and some
applications have a very complex geometric design. A good example of such applications is trunk trim, which has a deep-drawn, multi-cavity geometry.

The advantage of LWRT material would be:

1.weight reduction of at least 25% compared to traditional technologies

2.acoustic performance satisfaction without need for additional sound-absorbing elements to be welded or over-molded per piece.

MDC Mould, as a professional LWRT Mold maker, has produced many molds for our customers, such as Audi, BMW, Daimler, Jaguar, etc.

so what is GMT ?

GMT is Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplasitcs, a kind of sheet molding compound with fiber reinforced thermoplastic. It is produced on huge laminators, using a thermoplastic resin and one or more forms of reinforcement. The process yields a lightweight, partially consolidated, semifinished composite in sheet form. Most forms are produced to 1,300 mm to 1,400 mm widths. However, some newer forms are made to greater but proprietary widths. The sheet stock may be cut to size to suit placement in the tool for a specific application and also can incorporate a decorative or functional surface laminated to one side. GMT mould makes possible the production of large parts with low tooling costs and fast cycle times via compression molding. The potential for parts consolidation presents the opportunity to further reduce weight and cost.

Molding temperature of compression mould

The molding temperature depends on the curing system of the resin paste, the thickness of the product, the production efficiency, and the complexity of the structure of the product. The molding temperature must ensure the initiation of the curing system, the smooth progress of the crosslinking reaction, and complete curing.

In general, part having a large thickness should have a lower molding temperature than a thin-walled part, which prevents excessive heat produce heat build-up inside the thick part. If the thickness of the product is 25-32 mm, the molding temperature is 135-145 °C. Thinner part can be formed at 171 °C.

The increase of the molding temperature can shorten the corresponding curing time; conversely, when the molding temperature is lowered, the corresponding curing time needs to be extended. The molding temperature should be chosen between the fastest cure speed and the optimum molding conditions. It is generally believed that the SMC molding temperature is between 120 and 155 °C.

SMC Mold in Heavy truck industry

MDC Mould, as a professional SMC Mold maker in china, provided SMC Mold as well as solution in heavy truck industry.

SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) works well for heavy duty truck parts, especially ones requiring complexity, strength, and impact resistance.  One of the projects MDC mould is working on is a heavy truck with these SMC parts, including roof spoiler and passenger’s truck fender extensions.  Each of these SMC parts is very complex in geometry because of its complex application. The following is a picture of one of the SMC fender extensions.

If a part needed this much complexity was manufactured with sheet metal, it would have many more pieces of the assembly and much more bracing.  Metal would also not have the resistance to corrosion and impact that is enjoyed by this composite part.

This fender extension with SMC material is from a truck that has been on the road since 1993, with over 270,000 miles on it.  So you can obviously see that composite material has a good application.

Please keep us informed when any new projects required for discussion.
